Josie Jane 2 bedroom camping pod
Liked: Excellent place to relax and unwind. Couldn't fault anything on the site, everything you needed was in the cabin. We had our 2 dogs with us who had an enclosed area to run about, they loved the freedom of just going out at there leasure and doing there thing while we were either in the hot tub or just chilling inside. Mark and Sarah made you feel welcome on arrival and were very accommodating. Will definitely be back for another relaxing break here. Chris + Claire

Eden camping pod
Liked: Such a wonderful little hidden gem. Truly dog-friendly too, the garden is fully enclosed and the owners love dogs, even bringing ours a treat when we arrived. The weather was so wet the days we were there but the cabin stocked everthing for a peaceful day relaxing, with the sky clearing at sunset so we had a trememdous view of all the stars while we sat in the hot tub.

Eden camping pod
Liked: A fantastic trip, Knockneen Croft is spectacular. The host are friendly and extremely helpful. Stunning views and amazing sunsets. The addition of milk, tea and coffee was greatly appreciated. Fire wood for the hot tub was available - the hot tub was one of the highlights of the stay. Spacious living space with sofa and a well equipped kitchen. 10/10 phenomenal place.
Disliked: Nothing to dislike at all! A stunning location and phenomenal hosts. Loved it so much we booked again.

Eden camping pod
Liked: We stayed at Knockneen Croft for 2 nights and it really was a home away from home. The pod was kitted out with everything we needed and the owners were welcoming and friendly. The views were second to none and it was peaceful. We were able to totally wind down and relax. There was nothing better than taking in the beautiful sunset from the hot tub in the evening. The bed was comfortable and I had the most bliss sleep both nights. The local shop in Leswalt had any additional supplies we needed and we even took a short trip to Stranraer for some shopping before unwinding back at the pod. A 10/10 weekend and we can’t thank Mark & Sarah enough for their hospitality.
